This is my new setup after having planned and then worked on it for the better part of 8 months. I enjoy working with constraints although I was not expecting the pain of trying to shove in a million things into an area this tiny. It most definitely is a unique space.
I came from a laptop setup with two external displays, and it was simply an inefficient use of space – it barely fit. As you can imagine, this is a solid improvement.
I would say I am 98% done (finally!) although I am still finding little things to add here and there. There’s nothing more I would love than a 3 metre long desk but at the end of the day I can’t complain with how things turned out.
The cable management was an absolute nightmare to figure out, but I am happy with the results. The photo is slightly edited but I left the cables unedited since it’s more true to real life. My main goal was to have no cables visible from a normal sitting position, and I just about achieved that.
Due to the limited space, there’s a lot going on behind the displays and under the desk. I have mounted a plug extension lead to the underside, and kept the cables out of the way using a tray.
I’ve also mounted one USB hub behind each of the monitors since I have a lot of random things that need USB power. Threaded a USB extension cord from the back of my PC to the underside on the right. Also have a hidden USB-C cable magnetically attached to the TV arm that I can pull out to charge devices with.
Reusable velcro cable ties and adhesive pieces were my best friend. Adding and removing cables is now very challenging though.
